From the City Life of Roorkee to the Wilderness of the Jungle: Your Jim Corbett Safari Guide
Are you tired of the congestion, the din, and the daily grind in Roorkee?
It’s time to swap the busy streets for the sight of the Jungle. It’s time to escape the skyline of Roorkee for the majestic Sal trees of the forest.
Welcome to Corbett Online Booking. We are a resident travel agency in Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), but we excel in serving guests coming specifically from Roorkee. We know that when you travel this far, you don't just want a "drive"—you want an story.
Whether you are organizing a holiday drive or catching a flight to reach us, here is your ultimate guide to reserving the best Jeep Safari.
The Journey: Reaching Us from Roorkee
If coming by car: The road from Roorkee is scenic but can be tiring. We recommend starting early to get to Ramnagar by noon.
If taking a Train or Flight: Once you get to Ramnagar Station or Pantnagar Airport, don't worry about taxis. We can organize a pick-up to take you comfortably to your resort or the safari gate.
- Tip: The recommended itinerary for tourists from Roorkee is usually a short tour to boost your chances of seeing the Tiger.
